Luxembourg, which borders Belgium, Germany, and France is one of the four official capitals of the European Union. Its central location and political, economic and legislative stability has made Luxembourg a leading financial hub and attractive location for all investors - after the US, it has the 2nd largest fund industry in the world, and is one of only ten countries with a AAA rating.
